WELL SAID,

when anything" says the Chicago
Herald, occurs to arouse the resentment
OF the American people they have no hest.
tation in declaring that they can whip Ill
creation. Not one OF the benighted nations
OF the old world can hold a candle to Amer.
lea as a fighter. We can lick England with
one band tied behind US, and, while we are
not anxious for such a struggle, we could
clean out all OF Europe il it would under
take to subdue us on our W ground.
This is ell very nice, OF course, but let
some one suggest that we clean out the en-
tire world with our skill as manufacturers
and Immediately some paid agent or some
Tool friend of the Pennsylvania monopolies
cries out that we cannot compete with
these barbarians. Not even in our own
country can we meet them on even terms.
We can whip them anywhere in the aee
art OF war, but in the field OF mme
manufacture. science. skill and Ingenuity
they can beat the life out OF US at our very
doors. 1t is a great pity that tho s~elf-reli.
ance OF the American people does not got
beyond the question Of brute force. But
does any thoughtful person really believe
that a nation which can whip the world in
war is unable to hold it's own in the mar

A DANGEROUS L

At the risk OF being called unpatriotic ant
OF mourning the displeasure OF some inter
ested parties We will say that the bill which
| the combination OF claim agents and politi
| clans has just succeeded in rushing through
| Congress, providing for q pension of$l2 8
month for all persons, who at any time
have served ninety days in the Union army
during the rebellion, whether they are sui
fering from disabilities received in the serv'
ice or not, providing they are at present
unable to support themselves, should be
vetoed. It is q most wasteful and vicious
measure and will cost the people millions
on millions. It fastens every poor house in
tho country upon the Federal Treasury. 1t
will place on O level with the honest and
worthy pensioners Of the republic all the
tramps, dead beats, bounty jumpers and
frauds on the continent. 1t will make thou
sands OF men who served in the Confederate
army eligible to pensions, and will swamp
our pension system with pauperism.
No one pretends to know what this ras-
cally bill will call for in the way of money.
Some Of the d%emagogues and jobbers who
been instrumental in rushing it
Congress have estimated that it
nay take IS, 200, 900 per annum. It is
much more likely to require $50, 0OO, 900.
There is absolutely no limit to the POSSIBLE
les for fraud and deception under it. Mr..
I eveland has vetoed many small swindles
q the way OF pension bills. Here is one that
} worth his while.

SPARKS ON HIS EAR.

It is said an amusing scene recently oc
Cured in Commissioner Sparks Office ii
Washington. Congressman Foran went ir
to see the Commissioner aud pursuade hin
to remove Special Timber Agent Haley, o
the Montana and Idaho district. Haley
it appears is an Ohio man, a Republican
and lives in Foran's district. Before civil
service reform he was a strong fighter
against Foran, and nov the latter wants
his scalp. Sparks refused fatty to do what
Mr.. Foran wanted. "Haley," he said. lis
one OF the best agents we have. and l don't
care il he is a Republican; he is going to
stay in. He 10 in accord with the admins
tration, with Secretary Lamar and with

made Foran angry and he retorted: "Well,
sir, you are not the man for your place,
and l think you ought to be removed as
we'll az Haley. Neither your country nor
your party desires your services and you
ought to have the grace to step down and

rose from his seat and said, with a goo !

DISTINCTION WITHOUT DIFFER.

1t appears that in most cases whore rev.
enue collectors have sieEed what they sup
posed was oleomargarine it has turned out
that the stuff was pure butter. The dis.
covery OF the mistake has rested upon the
analysis of the national chemists at Wash.

acter OF the product before them.
These Incidents exhibit in strong light
the difficulty OF legislating effectively upon
this subject. The imitation OF butter has
reached a state OF perfection which practi.
cally defes detection. It eoncsals it's own
character not only, but by it's general ex-
cellence it sometimes casts suspicion upon
tho genuine article. Having produced 40

A HISTORICAL QUESTION.

A paper on the Federal convention, in
Monthly. by Prof.. John Fiske, suggests the
fact that the present year will teach the
people a valuable historical lesson. In
speaking OF it IA exchange says: Few
realize the difference between the political
situation just a hundred years ago and
that OF to-day. And especially il this true
with reference to the very large part OF the
population who have immigrated during
the last half century. The Centennial dis
courses on the constitution that will be
listened to before tho year is out,
and the general interest which the subject
will attract, cannot help proving widely
instructive.
The Federal convention sat with closed
doors. The old Confederation was falling
to pieces OF it's W weakness. There must
either be a number OF petty nations on the
Atlantic coast or a united national govern
ment. The necessity was for the latter.
But it was all uncertain what the conyen.
ton would produce. Some thought a mon
archy was being concocted. In England
the hope was expressed that a younger son
OF George III. would be called here to rule.
1t was suggested that French royalty
should furnish the King. But the delegates
we're laboring in a very different direction.
Their problem was to convert a loose union
OF States to a government sprirging direct
~ from the people as a whole, and laying
the hand Of it's authority not alone lightly
on a State but Immediately on the indi-
vidual.
This they practically. with great diff
Guilty, accomplished, though they were far
from sanguine at the start. But Washing
linton insisted on the establishment of the
radical principle of individual RESPONSE
bllity to national laws. Without that
nothing would avail. He said in Conven.

will be adopted. Perhaps another
dreadful conflict is to be sustained, II. to

selves disapprove, how can We a~fterward
